This young woman might look like she’s enjoying a lovely day in the spring sunshine, but that’s a misperception. You are looking at someone surrounded and indeed trapped by an encroaching enemy. That enemy just happens to take the deceptive shape of flowers.

I know it’s hard for some factions of the universe to accept, but not all women are into jewelry. Not all women cream themselves over the very mention of chocolate, either. And some women wouldn’t even know what to do if their intended showed up on their doorstep clutching a $4.99 bouquet from Trader Joe’s, ostensibly…

No huge surprises here: Most of you — 81 percent — feel that skipping the bridal bouquet toss, that ritual in which all the single women in attendance are herded up and made to battle one another to catch a clump of flowers in hopes of being the next to marry, is a no-brainer.

I’m not trying to brag here, but I have caught the bouquet at a wedding three times in my life. In fact, I was so aggressive in catching it that I once almost crushed a kid (the only other one competing) in my need to win. But the guy in this video had a very different reaction to a bouquet coming his way.

Welcome to Pop The Question, a weekly space to dissect every aspect of wedding madness. Each Tuesday, we’ll ask a question (sometimes there might even be a poll!), you’ll share answers and stories, and then we’ll bring you the best of the bunch on Thursdays. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll fly into a total rage over…

The next time you see a flower growing by the curb, consider this: Paul Harfleet has planted 10,000 flowers in different cities around the world, but not because he's just into random urban beautification. Each bloom marks a homophobic attack.

There are some angry people out there this Valentine's Day, thanks to ProFlowers delivering some jankity bouquets. Unless there's a beautiful arrangement hidden inside an ugly-ass facade — kinda like the old man on Scooby Doo? — ProFlowers has some explaining to do. Of course, these might just be anomalies on the…

After Jessica Ahlquist, unabashed teenage atheist and crusader against bullshit, successfully sued her Rhode Island high school to take its prayer mural taken down last January, we hoped that she'd be able to take her $40,000 scholarship and ride off triumphantly into college sunset, confident that she'd be equipped…

Much unlike many a magazine editor who recommends you buy all sorts of crap that they most likely got for free, your Jezebel staff doesn't get jack shit (other than books, unsolicited).
